Egyptian election begins with President el-Sissi certain winner

Polls opened today in Egypt's presidential election with the outcome, a second term for President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, a foregone conclusion.

A general-turned-president, el-Sissi is challenged by Moussa Mustafa Moussa, a little-known politician who joined the race at the last minute to spare the government the embarrassment of a one-candidate election.
